ALL PLAYERS LISTED ARE OWNED IN 70% OR LESS OF CBS LEAGUES

QUARTERBACKS

JAMEIS WINSTON – TITANS – AVAILABLE IN 73% OF CBS LEAGUES

This quarterback carousel continues to turn and Jameis Winston is back in as the starter for the Bucs. Last week in relief he completed 12 of 16 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He has weapons and he is going to turn the ball over, but he is available in a lot of leagues.

LAMAR JACKSON – RAVENS – AVAILABLE IN 70% OF CBS LEAGUES

Lamar Jackson did not do much as a passer in his starting debut, throwing for 150 yards with no touchdowns and an interception, but that is not why we are interested in him in Fantasy. Jackson carried the ball 27 times for 117 yards and the Bengals did not know how to stop him. Joe Flacco may be back and this would all be for naught, but if he plays this week it is against the Raiders, what more do you want?

BAKER MAYFIELD – BROWNS – AVAILABLE IN 39% OF CBS LEAGUES

Baker is coming off the bye and gets to face the Bengals and his former coach Hue Jackson. Yes I like Baker this week.

RYAN TANNEHILL – DOLPHINS – AVAILABLE IN 91% OF CBS LEAGUES

Tannehill is confirmed as the starter this week. You hear that Alex Smith owners?

CASE KEENUM – BRONCOS – AVAILABLE IN 65% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coming off a bad week, where he failed to throw a touchdown, he has another tough matchup against the Steelers at home. Maybe not the best week to stream Case.

CHASE DANIEL – BEARS – AVAILABLE IN 100% OF CBS LEAGUES

Consider if Trubisky can’t play on Thursday.

RUNNING BACKS

GUS EDWARDS – RAVENS – AVAILABLE IN 97% OF CBS LEAGUES

Edwards was the beneficiary of having Lamar Jackson at quarterback. Edwards has been working with Jackson and was much more comfortable in the RPO’s than Alex Collins was. If Jackson starts again this week then Edwards is a strong play. If Flacco is under center, then I apologize.

JOSH ADAMS – EAGLES – AVAILABLE IN 44% OF CBS LEAGUES

Adams continues to be the best of the bunch in Philadelphia. This week, in a blowout, he carried the ball seven times for 53 yards with a touchdown and caught three passes for 19 yards. The Eagles are bound to be better this week in a matchup with the Giants. Not a bad add if he is still available.

RASHAAD PENNY – SEAHAWKS – AVAILABLE IN 47% OF CBS LEAGUES

Penny did see his role reduced last week, but he was still productive. Penny carried the ball eight times for 46 yards and failed to be targeted in the passing game. The Seahawks are a run happy team in the passing era, and that bodes well that Rashaad will continue to see close to 10 touches a game with the potential to increase as Seattle wants to know what they have in him for next year.

ELIJAH MCGUIRE – JETS – AVAILABLE IN 65% OF CBS LEAGUES

McGuire gets forgotten about because he is coming off a bye, but he has been productive in a bad offense since being called up. He is a better add in PPR formats.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DJ MOORE – PANTHERS – AVAILABLE IN 50% OF CBS LEAGUES

I have been telling you to grab him and now this is going to be your last chance. Moore just went off for 157 yards with a score on seven catches and will be added in every league. Hopefully you already have him.

JOSH REYNOLDS – RAMS – AVAILABLE IN 45% OF CBS LEAGUES

Reynolds showed up in replacement of Cooper Kupp, catching six of eight targets for 80 yards with a touchdown. He was a toenail away from staying in bounds and scoring a second touchdown. The Rams are a prolific offense, and Reynolds will continue to be productive.

TRE’QUAN SMITH – SAINTS – AVAILABLE IN 37% OF CBS LEAGUES

Smith was on fire, catching 10 of 13 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown. He will be added in all formats and should be.

ANTHONY MILLER – BEARS – AVAILABLE IN 47% OF CBS LEAGUES

He might still be available, but another not for long as he continues to score touchdowns. This week he caught only two passes for 25 yards, but he did score. He faces the Lions who he lit up two weeks ago.

KEKE COUTEE – TEXANS – AVAILABLE IN 67% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coutee came back last week and he showed up nicely, catching five passes for 77 yards. He showed that he has a role in this offense working out of the slot as evidenced by his nine targets.

CHRIS GODWIN – BUCCANEERS – AVAILABLE IN 33% OF CBS LEAGUES

Godwin was only targeted three times last week but caught them all for 50 yards. Winston is back under center and Godwin will look to improve with Jameis.

DEVANTE PARKER – DOLPHINS – AVAILABLE IN 78% OF CBS LEAGUES

Parker is coming off a bye and he was targeted 11 times in his last game. Ryan Tannehill is also back under center for the Dolphins.

WILLIE SNEAD – RAVENS – AVAILABLE IN 72% OF CBS LEAGUES

Even with Lamar Jackson under center Snead was targeted eight times and caught five of them for 51 yards. He is consistent this season.

OTHER RECEIVERS TO CONSIDER

JOHN ROSS – BENGALS – AVAILABLE IN 82% OF CBS LEAGUES

DANNY AMENDOLA – DOLPHINS – AVAILABLE IN 74% OF CBS LEAGUES

MOHAMED SANU – FALCONS – AVAILABLE IN 44% OF CBS LEAGUES

DAVID MOORE – SEAHAWKS – AVAILABLE IN 58% OF CBS LEAGUES

CHRISTIAN KIRK – CARDINALS – AVAILABLE IN 39% OF CBS LEAGUES

CHRIS CONLEY – CHIEFS – AVAILABLE IN 98% OF CBS LEAGUES

TAYLOR GABRIEL – BEARS – AVAILABLE IN 77% OF CBS LEAGUES

TIGHT ENDS

CAMERON BRATE – BUCCANEERS – AVAILABLE IN 80% OF CBS LEAGUES

Winston is back under center and that is good news for Brate who has thrived with Winston. Don’t worry about his poor performance last week, he should do well this week against the 49ers.

C.J. UZOMAH – BENGALS – AVAILABLE IN 69% OF CBS LEAGUES

Not a great week for Uzomah, but not horrible with three receptions for 41 yards. With A.J. Green still out he could be due for a better game this week against the Browns.

JEFF HEUERMAN – BRONCOS – AVAILABLE IN 90% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coming off the bye Heuerman only had 20 yards on four receptions, but was targeted five times. He is more a part of this offense and will look to improve his output against the Steelers this week.
